Hope

I leaned in her face just a couple of centimeters before mine.

"How do you want to spend your future." she was so professional even in a moment like this.

I looked her in her eyes. Then began playing with pieces of her hair." I want to be out of here." I said in truth..My heart start beating rapidly as the next words crawled out my mouth." And I want you to be my wife."

She stared at me as if she didn't know what to say." Michael I..." She let her sentence trail off. She caressed my cheek with her thumb and closed her eyes.

"You've taught me to speak from my heart," I continued." And what I'm about to say is from my heart. I'm in love with Gel, I love you so much that I would give up anything to be with you, I love you. You showed me, taught me so much. And I know that you need me just as much as I need you."

She opened her eyes. There was a tear that fell. I whipped it away with my thumb.

"Just tell me that you love me too."

She looked away as another tear rolled down her eye. I reached for her chin, forcing her to make full eye contact with me.

" Do you?" I asked.

She reached back and played with my hair. Then she placed her hand on the back of my neck causing the hairs on my neck to stand up. She leaned in and brushed her lips against mine. " I do..." she whispered.

I smiled then leaned in and kissed her lips the softness of her lips sent shivers down my spin. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her lips harder, for I had been waiting for that moment from the first moment I laid eyes on her.
